Abstract
In many developing destinations backpacker tourism is often a hidden, but surprisingly important and fast-growing sector. This lecture from a leading international academic expert, presents recent research which shows the signifi?cant impacts of backpacker tourism and how this can drive local economic development.Backpackers and independent travellers are typically 'under the radar' of tourism policy makers, yet international research has shown this sector to have extensive and powerful economic linkages to many local businesses.
